    An Australian beer and cider
    Jess F.

    Tried this place based on other reviews and then it also came recommended on one of our tours. Definitely more upscale food than your standard pub food. We had the grilled salmon and the pumpkin salad, both delicious! Also great beer selection and the bartenders are willing to help you find one you like. Great rooftop view too! The place seemed pretty popular when we visited.

    I've been here a few times. The food is great and a good selection of beers. Some great views from the roof top. When I first came here in the 90s you could just stop by and pull up a chair on the rooftop for a beer and watch the city with a view. Unfortunately the past several times I've randomly stopped here at different times of the day or night seating has been very hard to come by. Either wait and grab the next table that becomes available, sit on the footpath downstairs or book ahead. Thats my main reason behind the 3/5. You pretty much need to book a table. I'd say thats normally acceptable for a nice restaurant but just for a run of the mill hotel?

    Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder
    Stephen L.

    This review is for both the rooftop bar and the restaurant. The rooftop has a pretty good view of the opera house and Sydney skyline (unless there's a big cruise ship in the way). I came on a Thursday evening and all the tables were occupied. It was also loud, which made conversation a bit cumbersome. The space could have been nicer if there was more open space rather than just tables and a bar. At the restaurant, I ordered the Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder. The lamb was a little overcooked and didn't have that much flavor aside from the flavor from the baba ganoush underneath it. Although there were a few pickles on the side, it felt like the dish was missing an additional ingredient like a vegetable or something. For $32, this dish was a bit overpriced. The service speed was okay. Our reserved table was in a nice quiet room with only one other table. There was no air conditioning though, which was not good considering it was sweltering outsIde. Overall, the rooftop bar is decent and the restaurant is kind of mediocre. For these reasons, I am giving Glenmore Hotel 3 stars.

    Amazing view, iconic from the roof bar.

    An amazing view, great service but the wedges are light on with sour crème and chilli sauce. See my photo. I ran out past Galway through them and I dipped conservatively. Time to give a little more dip team.

    Amazing rooftop bar. Several floors available though. Probably because the rooftop is packed at all times and it's standing room only so be prepared to not have a spot like all the pictures suggest. Got a spritz and it was great, then a dirty martini and it was lovely as well. Hubby got a beer on top and a pour of whiskey in the middle. Ok selection of beers and whiskey. We stood on the rooftop for a bit and then went to the center room which is like an old fashioned library and had a tiny window overlooking the opera house. Bottom floor is more like a pub and smaller as well.

    I came here for the rooftop bar and it was amazing, yet extremely packed during NYE time. The view of Sydney Opera House was gorgeous especially with the sun setting. The place had free for all seating, so we had to wait around tables that were leaving. We ordered the fish and chips and they were quite good. The fish was full fried and still moist on the inside. It was a bit expensive, but the portion size made up for it.

    Not lots of room so we hugged the rails until something opened up.

    Place was crazy busy when we went. Ended up just standing by the edge and stalking better spots. The view can't be beat from the rooftop. We didn't stay till sunset but I could see that it would be pretty nice from here.

    A place that's worth going if you're willing to trek through all the steps! Depending on where you're coming from, you may have to go through many sets of steps to end up here. The view from the rooftop is incredible, although it was so busy when we went that we ended up sitting on a lower floor just so we could eat. The food itself is pretty good, like the wings or the fish and chips. The pricing isn't too bad either. The servers all act like they don't want to be there, which I guess is understandable given how crazy everything is. I think this place would be great if you just wanted a few drinks on the roof. Worth a shot if you're in the area!

    Poor pulled pork roll requiring knife and fork, Glenmore Hotel
    Dan P.

    Not happy Dan! It's happened. It's devastating and I don't know what else to say... No. Wait a minute. Yes I do! Glenmore you've lost my heart. You had it to hold, cherish and whisper warmy gooey sweet nothings to; you took it for granted; and you've lost it. I'm gone and I can't say when, or if, I'll be back. I dunno what it is about pubs post reno's, that make them think they are suddenly all that and a bag of chips - you guys are NOT what's hot. You have lost your mojo. BIG TIME! Who cares if you had Anchorman 2 there? That's in the past, what are you going to do moving forward to get people to come to your pub? Or are you going to rest on your mediocre laurels and let the tills tick over till they just don't anymore? Sure you were busy last week, it's the festive season after all, and no doubt that's why you allowed your bouncers to turn into Douche Bigalows. I saw them kicking out people that were fine. Some blokes just didn't have the right kind of cool and you punted them. That makes YOU not cool. I always get in, I never get booted, but you know what, I wish you did toss me out last weekend. I wish you threw me unceremoniously onto the sidewalk before I stupidly, in hindsight, ordered the utter garbage you try and pass off as food. I paid $17.50 for an item from the two hands menu, which indicates that you might actually need your hands to eat it and not untensils. What was described sounded delicious - a Pulled Pork roll, house made coleslaw, melted cheesed, paprika ailoi and fries - but what was ultimately delivered was tantamount to something you'd find in the garbage after it's been sitting unfinished on the table for an hour. You've done the unthinkable. You've turned me off pulled pork. Straight to the shame file for you. Shame!, Shame!, Shame! Pulled pork is one of my all time favourite dishes. And I am no mere dabbler. I am one of your hickory smoked yee-haw cowboys when it comes to this particular fare. I know good pulled pork. I've had it at Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood Texas; I've had it at Franklin's BBQ truck in Austin Texas; I've had it at Hill Country and Blue Smoke in New York City. I know good pulled pork. I've even had the mediocre variety as a takeaway in New york. Every vestige of pulled pork that I've ever tasted is so astronomically superior to your pulled pork that basically your pulled pork isn't fit to be the muck in the sty that their pigs roll in. It really isn't. To compound the issue the pork roll bun was soggy all the way through. Not just chewy, literally "we soaked the bread in water for an hour before putting it underneath the pulled pork" soggy. I didn't need a knife and fork, so much as a spoon. I also ended up leaving the entire bun lid that was stuck with some *kind* of cheese, and the world's worst coleslaw. Colonel Sanders would be turning in his grave. Having to eat, what I ate, with a knife and fork was disgraceful enough. Having to pay $17.50 for it was an insult. Why didn't I send it back? I've worked in kitchen's, and having that experience under my belt, I've learned to never send anything back. You cop the bad meal on the chin. You pay for it. Then you give your honest review of the restaurant. Maybe they'll fix up their horrendous mistake or maybe they'll continue making it and lose loyal customers... The absolute clincher is that, it wasn't just one serve that was wrong, my friends serve was also poor. I had already begun my meal when he returned from the loo to begin his. His first comment was "these chips taste old". To be fair my chips were actually really quite good (even though neither of us received paprika aioli), but the rest of what was served to me was practically inedible. It was a disgrace. You're getting a 2 because your female waitstaff are amazing (to chat to; look at; and for their service), your venues views are also uber-amazing. If not for these 2 positives you'd be getting a duck-egg or a single finger! Glenmore take this sound advice. Lose the ego. Improve your food service dramatically. Fire your moronic goose figjam bouncers. Rediscover your soul, your sass and your style. Or else risk further descent into the douche lagoon.

Ask someone to point you in the direction of the light rail. Take the light rail to the Convention Center stop. Once there walk into the adjacent parking garage. Take the elevator to the fourth floor as if you're going to Novotel. Walk through the parking garage until you hit Murray St. and the hotel will be across the street from you. After you've checked in you can go back through the fourth floor of the parking garage to the walking bridge that will take you to the harbour and shops. You can walk all over town from this central location... across the Pyrmont Bridge, over to Chinatown, a relatively short walk to Circular Quay... it's really a great location. Swag and free stuff: Amazing! When you book on their website you get free happy hour at their bar, everything in the mini bar is free, free breakfast, free loot bag of snacks, free tote bag to swing around town or load up a few extra gifts for home. Lots of goodies! Attention to detail: Never better! From the spare toilet paper that reads "who gives a crap" to the frame hanging in the lobby for people to take selfies with, this place is fun and interesting. I found myself wanting to explore the hotel as much as I wanted to explore Sydney. Food: Nice spread! They had a really nice continental breakfast spread in the morning... lots of fruits, breads and pastries, cereal, hard boiled eggs, a variety of juices, and a coffee machine. I think there would be something there for everyone but if that didn't suit your fancy you could also pay for other breakfast options from the kitchen or coffee bar. Literally the only downside I came across was that the walls were thin so I could hear a lot of noises from the hallway and laundry room. So pack some ear plugs!

    This is a very good, but not great property…read more Location - ideal. Steps from Central Quay, tons of restaurants around, right in the middle of the CBD. Rooms - so/so. Smaller than expected and a bit dated. Bathroom was very cramped with little storage space. Comfy bed and very clean though. Service - honestly, outstanding. Friendly & helpful from every person we encountered. Pretty good!

    VERY DISAPPOINTING STAY- NOT THE FOUR SEASON STANDARD…read more This was one of the most disappointing hotel stays I've experienced, especially for a brand like Four Seasons that is supposed to represent luxury and impeccable service. We were suspicious upon first arrival when reception appeared overwhelmed and not able or willing to accommodate our requests. I must give a shout out to Lorenzo who did meet our expectations when we were able to enlist his assistance. The hotel felt understaffed, which affected every aspect of the stay. The accommodations were underwhelming, with rooms that were small , particularly for room class designations ,and far below expectations for price point. Food and beverage service was particularly poor. Simple details that should be effortless at this level--like providing decent coffee in the lobby--were completely botched: no cream and poorly brewed coffee. The maitre d for breakfast service was particularly rude and appeared bothered. Wait staff appeared confused and not understanding what we needed. We felt like an inconvenience, perhaps because we did not order the self serve buffet and required a simple breakfast? Overall, this hotel failed to deliver on the most basic elements of hospitality, let alone luxury. The Four Seasons name sets a high bar and while I had high expectations, this property fell short in multiple areas. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as significant improvements are needed to meet brand standards.

However, they had an early arrival lounge on the 6th floor which has showers for you to freshen up, and which I truly appreciated. I've stayed at other hotels where they gave me access to the hotel gym to shower, but this early access lounge is a full bathroom attached to a small private room for you to unpack and reorganize if needed without being in the general lounge area. Other amenities include free treats in the lobby sometime (they served ice cream once while staying there), fruit water by the check in counter with individual Mentos, and you can borrow an umbrella for free. The room was clean but nothing spectacular, which is fine with me. Housekeeping occurs daily. Overall an excellent stay if you want to be nearby Circular Quay.

The best part of the hotel though in my opinion is its proximity to a lot of attractions including just a 10 min walk to the harbor and Sydney Opera House. It's located in the Rock neighborhood so lots of restaurants to choose from. It's also only a 10 min walk to George street which is the one of the main shopping and walking streets in Sydney.

Complimentary beer, wine, sparkling wine, and cocktails plus innumerable hot and cold appetizer choices. A selection of desserts is available as well. The food choices changed each evening, but there were some repeats. You could really make this dinner if you wanted to. The breakfast options were generally the same each morning but were good.
